Concentration on-line measuring device in the sugar crystal process
Technical field
The present invention relates to the sucrose production technical field, particularly concentration detection apparatus in a kind of boiling pan sugar crystal process.
Background technology
The white granulated sugar product that eats for people is that sucrose solution is condensed into behind the syrup at the boiling pan intercrystalline, separating drying through hydro-extractor again forms, crystallization of sucrose need be controlled the massecuite mother liquor under vacuum condition concentration changes within the specific limits, also will reflect the auxiliary control of massecuite concentration parameter of massecuite mother liquid concentration and massecuite crystal ratio simultaneously.Because material viscosity is big in the boiling pan, impurity is many, brings very big difficulty to instrument measurement, domestic substantially still resting on manually estimated hand by rule of thumb and touched to infer massecuite concentration and massecuite mother liquid concentration state in the sugar crystal process.
Generally adopted instrument such as conductivity meter and flow graph to measure conductivity and the viscosity of massecuite in the past, and then measure massecuite concentration indirectly, conductivity meter mainly is the conductivity (sucrose is non-conductive) that contains conductive materials in the massecuite by measuring, the working curve reflection massecuite concentration of making in the ratio that contains conductive materials in the massecuite error will occur and cause the control failure when the kind content of conductive materials in the raw material; Flow graph mainly is by measuring the viscosity reflection massecuite concentration of massecuite, when material composition and massecuite crystal ratio cause viscosity to change, reflect that error also appears in the massecuite measurement of concetration, accuracy is lower, and the microwave concentration measuring method of development recent years mainly is by measuring massecuite to the moisture of the degree reflection massecuite of the decay of microwave, namely detect massecuite concentration with default working curve, can't the needed mother liquid concentration of independent measurement crystallization of sucrose, reduced accuracy and the reliability of control.
Laboratory, sugar refinery is detected the massecuite mother liquid concentration and at first massecuite is isolated mother liquor at present, measures mother liquor hammer degree with hydrometer method or refractometry again.The hammer degree is a kind of expression mode of concentration, and hydrometer method is that the weight by measuring unit's volume solution is converted to the hammer degree, and accuracy is relatively poor; Refractometry is to pass through total reflection principle, utilize light at the hammer degree of the measurement of angle massecuite mother liquor of the refractometer glass prism surface refraction that contacts with the massecuite mother liquor, because the impurity that exists in the sucrose solution is very little to the influence of sucrose refractive power, so the sucrose solution refractive power hammer degree that refractometry is measured is the most accurately the most at present, it also is laboratory standard sucrose solution hammer degree determination method.
The refractive power hammer degree of massecuite mother liquor can be accurately measured in the laboratory, is to measure with each back cleaning refractometer prism of measuring with the assurance measurement accuracy because the laboratory adopts the filtration massecuite to obtain mother liquor.Yet, adopt the online detection of refractometer to have two problems that are difficult to solve in boiling pan: first refractometer is when boiling pan uses, because the restriction of optical element, the sensor depth that stretches in the boiling pan is little, the massecuite of the thickness that boiling pan keeps to the side flows slowly, the massecuite mother liquor also is difficult to the displacement of flowing on the refractometer prism, the main body massecuite often needs the long period just to flow to the refractometer place in the boiling pan, full-bodied mother liquor is replaced a period of time again on the measuring prism, the massecuite mother liquid concentration that refractometer is measured in real time is the mother liquid concentration before the main body massecuite long period in fact, be that the massecuite mother liquid concentration signal that refractometer is measured has hysteresis quality, the measured value that " hysteresis " of this measurement influences instrument can not in time reflect and control massecuite mother liquid concentration variation in the boiling pan; Its two be impurity in the massecuite can be on the refractometer prism crystal in incrustation and the massecuite also can be deposited on the refractometer prism and cause measuring error.These two problems can't be used refractometer in the on-line measurement of boiling pan crystallization process.
